Lunch & Learn | Keeping Economic Development Strong: The Importance of Business Succession

Join the Connect Mitchell Committee of the Mitchell Area Chamber of Commerce for a Lunch & Learn focused on one of the most important—and often overlooked—drivers of community economic vitality: business succession planning.

When a local business closes because no successor is identified, communities lose jobs, services, and local investment. Every business will eventually face a transition, whether through retirement, a sale, family succession, or new ownership. This session will explore how proactive succession planning helps preserve businesses, strengthen local economies, and create opportunities for future growth.

Learn how business owners can maximize the value of their companies, how prospective buyers can identify promising opportunities, and why successful ownership transitions benefit the entire community.

Thursday, July 23 | 12:00–1:00 p.m.
Mitchell Area Chamber of Commerce Board Room

Registration is required. The event is free to attend, with an optional lunch available for purchase for $15.
